Then why call it „Jannik Sinner racket” while it’s not?
These youtubers are getting worse and worse.

330g with overgrip right? Same for 33.3 balance?
The frame is but when they test it with SW317 and give their opinion while he uses 340SW then it doesn’t make sense

Ya I get what you’re saying. You can see the placebo effect on some coaches when they said it had more plowthrough but it’s only 317 swingweight. I’m assuming twistweight comes in higher so that adding lead only at 12 is doable but a racquet with 317 swingweight, 323 grams, 63 ra, and a 22mm beam does not plow through the ball.

The person who has the rackets took off the lead tape, not the people who posted the video.

Then, I am not sure what’s the point of “measuring the spec” and showing it as “sinner’s racket”. It is just like the Speed Touch MP…

That's what he does for every racket that they use so they stick to their routine. Of course, for people that want to replicate the exact weight and balance of Sinner's racket, it is no good for them.

i am assuming his coaching staff adds lead to the head and handle. Noone has seen the finished playing version that Siinner actually has in his bag

I wonder if someone got it directly from his hand, also on another note he was seen wearing the VP11

i doubt it. those specs above are Before adding all the lead to the head and handle which his coaching staff does for Sinner. Head doesn't do it for some reason

His coaching staff does not do anything to his rackets. His rackets come fully customized from Head Pro Room in Austria.

I have seen and hit with his actual and fully customized frame when in KB. As I said, to me, that racket was not a positive experience. But obviously fits him and a few other top pros quite well...
Often with pros they get used to the racket and don’t want to change. Doesn’t mean it’s a great racket for them just what they used before and settled on.

It's mainly players who have played that mold their whole career right? The ones who switch to Head from another brand mainly choose the 339 mold it seems.

Then how do you explain such a Low swing weight ? there is no way he can play top tour level tennis with SW 316, even 340 is low

340 is not low … for a pro

What the hell are you talking about FEDACE????

That's exactly what i mean. after they get the racket, his coaches add lead tape to the head and handle, and it brings up the SW significantly. I am trying to find out exactly what locations Cahill adds the tapes at. most likely 3 and 9 position and just above the grip

You obviously read his coaches do not add lead, and the pro room in AUT does. Hopefully your account suffers the same fate as fedace, BANNED

The best selling mold that is very good with many layups in it, many TGK339.x, PT10, PT57A...
Pros like it, College kids like it, broad market likes it

When head gives sponsored college players 339.x racquets or other racquets, what is the usual/standard swingweight? I see a lot of racquets at 295 unstrung sw and 310 grams static weight on pro stock tennis. Is this the standard for most head racquets? I recently saw Inaki Montes switch to a pro stock speed (top college player for virginia).

Head offers full customization service for pros and for sponsored players. If a player utilizes own services, they would get uncustomized frames that are (mostly) considerably lighter than 310g and 295SW

Then reach out to your Head Rep to talk to the Head people and see if they would sponsor you..
Although if you are the top ranked Junior, I would think they (multiple racket companies) would have noticed you

How would you compare the new speed pro vs sinner's setup?
dr325i

As mentioned above, I did not care about Sinners frame, Touch Speed MP or Pro. To me it was just blah, unstable and weird feel. The new, 2024 Speed Pro (Auxetic 2.0) is a good frame but too muted for my liking. I like to feel communication from the handle…

How did it compare to the auxetic 1.0?

I think there is a whole thread on what you are asking in the Racket section. I have not tried the 1.0

Too bad they don’t have a clue what they’re talking about. Not one clue.
What is wrong with the video? Harry did mention that the lead was taken off to protect Sinner's information.

I agree, they are very misinformed but altleast they measure things with RDC machine.
I rather look at the first 30sec of their video than a more "knowledgeable" guy YouTube channel giving his 2cent opinion without measuring things.
Do you play them stock? I just bought 2 but came very different so I am customizing them, thinking on which set up will benefit the frame better.

No, all 5 of mine are weighted to 355 static and 9 pts HL.
